“Senator John Cullerton (D-6th-Chicago) & Senator John Millner (R-28th-Bloomingdale) have both cashed checks from

the red light camera industry’s lobbyists!”
“Why did red light camera industry lobbyists get to write their own „reform bill‟ in a closed-door meeting?”
On Thursday, March 11th, in Springfield, there was a closed-door meeting on red light cameras. The news media wasn‟t invited, nor allowed inside. It was a meeting in Senate President John Cullerton’s (D-6th-Chicago) Capitol office. Who was allowed inside? Lobbyists from the red light camera industry! And Senator John Millner took-part as well! Senate President John Cullerton let the lobbyists approve or strike, line-by-line, each of the proposed reforms and safety measures in the red light camera reform bill! The result is a “non-reform bill” that’s been written by the red light camera lobbyists themselves!
Senate President John Cullerton and Senator John Millner both have cashed checks from the red light camera industry’s lobbyists! Now they are colluding to give the red light camera lobbyists a “reform bill” that the lobbyists got to write themselves! Senator John Millner has been asked to return the money he received from the red light camera industry’s lobbyists! But the Senator has refused! This doesn’t pass the smell-test! Senate President John Cullerton took in $1,500.00 from the red light camera lobbyists in 2009, and has yet to return that money!

“Please call both Senate President John Cullerton, and Senator John Millner, and urge them to amend the red light camera ‘reform bill’ to include requiring that intersections with red light cameras follow the U.S. D.O.T. guidelines for yellow-light-duration! Senate President John Cullerton (D-6th-Chicago): 773-883-0770 Senator John Millner (R-28th-Bloomingdale): 630-524-9250
That will decrease accidents! Red light cameras always increase accidents!

“These cameras are not about safety. They’re about revenue!”
